90/10 and 50/50 on stock suspension??

Would LakeWood 90/10 struts and 50/50 shocks with an otherwise stock 86 Iroc suspension help my traction problems? Any other suggestions? Thanks

It should help tracion...however, if you drive this on the street...(not sure if you do or if it's a track only vehicle) it won't corner very well at all. so a turn that you could take at 55 before....you may find yourself in the ditch or wrapped around a pole after putting those shocks on. Just a heads up.

Thanks! That's what I have heard about losing some handling, I don't really mind if I gain a lot of traction. I do drive the car on the street, but it is not my daily driver. Will it still be safe as long as I am careful?? Anyone else running this setup on the street??

If you cruise at respectable speeds it not be a problem at all.

The 90/10 struts will make the drastic difference in handling and traction. The shocks will make some improvement. If you do some street driving, go for the 70/30 struts and the 50/50 shocks.
Good Luck.
